OF Emin PaSha was sunk and the explorer
was drowned. The report of Mr.. Stanley's
death emanates from q missionary at Ma
tadi, who received it from native from up
the country. No direct message has been
received from the expedition.
LATER.--The rumor regarding the death
OF Fl. M. Stanley is utterly discredited here
The latest authentic news from him was from
Aruwimi and was sent under date Of June
2 1t would be impossible for a native to
reach Matadi and then st. Thomas since that
time. The distance between Matadi and
Aruwimi alone is 1910 miles, through the
toughest country.
The King of the Belgians has telegraphed,
In reply to an inquiry, that neither he nor
the Belgian Government has any knowledge
of the whereabouts of Mr.. Stanley other
than conveyed in a dispath received
yesterday reporting his departure from
Aruwimi on June 8. His Majesty feels
convinced of the correctness Of that report.
and gives no credence to the rumor of the ex-
plorer's death. Col. Frederick Stranch, pres
ident Of the African International Associa-
ton, telegraphs from Brussels stating that he
had not received the news of Stanley having
been killed. Stanley, he states, left Aru-
wimi July for Waldelai. Neither the
Church Missionary Society nor the Baptist
Missionary Society has received any tidings
of Mr.. Stanley, although there is Baptist
missionary society under American auspices
at Matadi.
In 1910 Henry NJ Stanley, whose real name
was John Rowlands, was born near Denbigh,
Wales When 8 years old he was sent to the
poor-house at st. Asaph, where he stayed
until IS years old, securing such education
as the place afforded. He then shipped as
cabin-boy to New Orleans, and found en-
ployment with merchant named Stanley,
who afterward adopted him and gave him
his name. His benefactor died intestate and
young Stanley was again left homeless He
went into the Confederate army and was
taken prisoner. He then volunteered
in the United States navy and became
acting ensign on the Ticonderoga After
the war he decided to join the Cretans, who
were trying to throw off tho Turkish yoke;
and before going engaged himself to the New
York Herald as their correspondent. The
year following he went with the British ex-
pedition against Theodore, King of Abys-
sinia, still as correspondent The succeeding
year was given to the civil war in Spain
While at Madrid he received telegram
which said: "Come to Paris on important
business" He started forthwith and there
met James Gordan Bennett Of tho New York
Herald.
At that time nothing had been heard from
Mr.. Livingstone, who was making explora-
tions in the heart of Africa, for two years.
Mr.. Bennett ordered Stanley to find Living
stone at any cost, and at his own expense
fitted out party Of 192 men for the purpose
After eleven months of unavailing search
Stanley wrote in his journal: "No living man
shall stop me-only death can prevent me.
But death-not even this; shall not die-I
will not die-I can not diel Something tells
me / shall find him, and write it larger
FIND HIM, FIND HIM. Even the words are
inspiring" This was prophetic, and shortly
afterward, Nov. 10, 1871, he did, indeed, find
DR.. Livingstone at Ujiii lake.
After the death Of Livingstone In 1872 the
London Daily Telegraph and the New York
Herald united to send Stanley to continue the
African explorations. Upon Stanley's return
to England all Europe honored him and the
different sovereigns sent congratulations and
medals. He again went TO Africa under the
auspices of the International African asso-
citation and nnder the patronage OF the King
Of the Belgians, who appropriated 2l50,0OO
per annum to the project of opening the
country ABOUT the mouth OF the congo 70
civilization.
Last year Mr.. Stanley came to this country
on a lecturing tour, when he was suddenly
called by the king Of the Belgisns to head a
relief expedition to rescue DR.. Edward
Schnitzler, better known as Emin Pasha.
Feb. 8, 1887, Stanley left England for Zanzi-
bar, which he reached Feb. 81 By March
IL he was at Cape Town, and by the Goth at
the mouth of the Congo. His last letter was
dated April %, from Stanley Pool
